What to check

Before comparing two diagrams, check that their wholes are the same size. Two large pieces are not necessarily less than three small ones. Use a number line from 0 to 1 to connect the diagram with the fraction’s value.

Explain and check

Work through one example aloud before independent practice. To check 18 + 7 = 25, calculate 25 − 7. If a word problem asks about meters or coins, include that unit and check whether the answer fits the situation.
